Gavin Newsom is, imo, unelectable on a national stage, and is probably actually a worse choice than just sticking with Joe Biden.

Is this solely because he's the democratic governor of California?

I think people are saying that because he looks like if Mitt Romney did Yoga and drank Kombucha.

I get it, he looks kinda sleazy. But give him 5 months on the trail and the comparison between soup brain biden and Gavin would be night and day. Far younger and quick on his feet. I seriously think the only person worse than Joe is Hilary, and only because she already lost to him. At least her brain still works. Kamala is a weak alternative, but Still i think has a better shot than Joe, even if its minor

It's because California is a neoliberal hellhole with vaguely progressive characteristics, and chuds can see that, even if they think it's communism.
